I think what she was talking about was a 'transcription machine'. I am actually a trained transcriptionist, although I've never sought a job in that field! These machines are basically cassette players, and it has a foot pedal that you attach to the machine that starts and stops the playback. And when you lift your foot, the recording stops and actually goes backward a tick or two (on most machines, you get to adjust how long a 'tick' is, lol). So that when you start again, you're typing from where you left off. You can wear headphones to make listening to the machine easier too. There would be a jack for that.
I'm not sure how much these machines cost. I'll bet a quick google search would tell you. Or you could check ebay for a used machine?
